The majestic El Misti volcano is Peru's most known and one of its most active volcanoes. It is an andesitic symmetrical stratovolcano that dominates the town of Arequipa, only 16 km to the SW, and its proximity to Peru's second largest city as well its history of explosive eruptions make it one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes.

News and updates for El Misti volcano:

El Misti volcano is showing signs of unrest, according to a recent article in the Peruvian press. Geologists from the Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP) detected a higher number than usual of small earthquakes under the volcano located 17 km outside the city of Arequipa.The current seismic swarm the strongest in more than 5 years. Engineer Orlando Macedo told El Comercio that 224 earthquakes were registered at El Misti during the past week. The swarm contained 143 volcano tectonic earthquakes, caused by fracturing of rocks inside the volcano due to sudden changes in pressure and temperature. Despite this recent increase in activity, which indicates that the volcano is slowly reawakening and "no longer dormant", no eruption is likely imminent. For an eruption to happen, Macedo said, El Misti would have to experience even more and continued earthquake swarms as well as volcanic tremor, signs of magma movements.The volcano last erupted sometime between 1450 and 1470 and is one of the country's largest and most active.

Raung volcano photos: One of the largest and most active volcanoes in East Java, rarely-visited and relatively unknown Raung became (in)famous during its recent eruption in 2015 when its frequent ash plumes forced the repeated closure of Bali's airport.

Current activity of Bardarbunga volcano, Iceland: An intense seismic crisis started at Bárdarbunga volcano on 16 August 2014 and is continuing at the time of writing (23 Aug). It may or may not lead to a volcanic eruption, possibly under the Vatnajökull ice cap. Follow updates as news come in!
